Never thought I’d see the hate for plex on here get to this level.

it’s almost as if a small group of people are desperately trying to make people to change to jellyfin.
6 months ago I was seriously looking at jellyfin as a Plex alternative. Now? nah, I’m good.
I’ll take a corporate shitheel company over a roach infested toxic community any day.
the more they push the less I want anything to do with jellyfin, and the leaders at jellyfin should be made aware of what their community members are doing.

What an asinine fucking take. Even if Plex were better than Jellyfin in every single way (it isn’t), this take would still be asinine. I mean, wtf dude.

Meh, seems like a sensible take. Certainly better for your mental health.
Communities matter. There’s a reason I’m not on X, there’s a reason I don’t play pubg or overwatch, toxic communities can seriously make any experience suck.

You can just not care about the community and everything keeps working. A “shitheel” company will do everything to make your experience suck.
And a toxic shitheel community won’t do that?
it’s comments like yours that makes me feel vindicated in choosing corporate over FOSS, and I know I’m not the only one.
Thanks for doing your part in proving my point.

No. You know you don’t need to join a community for using something, right? I didn’t join a community for my dishwasher. Not even for most of my apps, actually. It’s very easy. When you choose corporate, you’re giving money for shit service. There’s literally no way for dissociate from that. On the other hand, you can simply not participate in a community, no one’s forcing you. It’s just weird that you still prefer the corporate way.

A large group of people got pissed off at all the enshitification of Plex. It isn’t a personal attack and you are welcome to keep using Plex. However, it is evident that many are looking towards Jellyfin as a better alternative.

You clearly have not been in a lot of Plex/Jellyfin threads. Using Plex is often portrayed as some kind of capital sin by hardcore Jellyfin fans.
I’m also in the boat of letting people use what they want, but the discussion is usually not made in good faith

“Everybody who disagrees with me is a troll or a shill.”
Sure, buddy, because Free Software projects run by volunteers famously have huge guerilla marketing budgets. Won’t somebody think of the poor for-profit companies who first got their leg up by taking Free Software code they didn’t write and then subsequently gradually closed and enshittified it? They’re the real victims here.

Every update they’ve made for just about the past decade has made the product worse for the original users who just want to stream their own media. This last UI update killed my favorite download feature. They deserve the hate they’re getting.
